' Application filed M8I0h27, 1908. Serial No. 423,559.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, EDWARD FRISBIE 000K, a citizen of the United States,:and a resident of Freeport, in the county of Nassau and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Connection for W ater-Receptacles, of which the following is'a full, clear,

and exact description.

tion, in which similar/ characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all-the fig ures.

Figure 1 is a plan view of'a laundry tub provided with a central partition and equipped with my improved-water connection for supplying the compartments with hot and cold water; Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view oftheconnection,showing a doublebarreled pipe bent substantially into U-form and connected with supply pipes, and also provided with valves mdependent of each other for controlling the discharge of hot and cold water through a single outlet into the tub; Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the double- .bairreled U-pipe removed from the tub and provided with its accompanying parts; and Fig. 4 is a section upon the line l-+4 of Fig. 3 looking in the direction of the arrows, and showing how the two barrels of the U-tube discharge through a single nozzle ,and how the disoharge is controllable by the. handvalve, this view further showing more articu'larly the manner in which the two arrels of the U-tube are secured to the supply P p A tub', is shown at '5 and is provided centrally with a partition '6. Supply pipes 7, 8

are connected respectively with the sources of cold and hot water. At 9, 10 are two tubular barrels connected'together by a pattition 11 integral therewith and thus formed intoa double-barreled tube. These tubes are bent substantially into U form, as will be under:

stood from Fig. 2. The upper barrel 9 is provided (see left of Fig. 2) with a hand valve 12, the barrel 10 being similarly provided with another hand valve 13. These two barrels terminate at the left of all the figures in a single nozzle 14, the barrels mer ing together around the end 15 of the partition 11. The

opposite ends of the barrels 9, 10 (see righthand side of Figs. 2 and 33 are similarly provided with hand valves 16, 17, and the ends of the barrels merge togetherinto a nozzle 18. The supply pipe 8 conducts hot water. into the-lower barrel .10. The heat of this barrel tending-to rise prevents the barrel 9 from be-.

coming unduly chilled. The result is that if,

during cold weather, the barrel 9 happens to contain anycold water. the heat from the barrel 1,0 prevents freeuing and consequent danger of bursting the pipe or any portion thereof; By cutting off the supply of water from the pipes 7, S and 'opening the valves, no freezing can take place.

Having thus describe'dl 1ny invention, I claim as new Patent:

1. The combination of a substantially U- shaped member provided with two separate barrels and with a partition separating said barrels and integral therewith, said barrels at their ends being merged together, a pair of separate valves mounted adjacent to each end of said U-shaped member for controlling the barrels thereof independently of each other, and pipes connected substantially in the center of said u-sh'apcd member, one of said pipes comnnmicating with one ofsaid barrels, and another of'said pipes communieating with the other barrel.

2. The combination of a U-shapcd pipe inelnber consisting of .two barrels secured together throughout their entire lengths, a

'tub 'upon which said U-shapcd member is .mounted, the middle portion of said U-shaped, member being back of said tub and the ends of said LJ-shapcd member extending through the and desire to-secure by Letters walls of said tub into the interior thcrcof, the

barrels of said'U-shaped member being disposed. one above the: other to facilitate the name to this specification in the presence of helating of 'thle upferfmnel or the Sewer bartwo subscribingwitnesses. re ,-se arate xan Va ves connecte with the 7 w respec tive barrels, and separate pipes for I E ARD FRISBHL (JOOK' 5 supplying hot water to one barrel'and cold Witnesses:
